Letter: Oenoke Ridge the Wrong Location for Waveny’s Senior Housing Proposal

Many residents may be surprised to learn that the Planning & Zoning Commission is still considering the Waveny application to install a massive senior living facility between the St. Mark’s Episcopal Church “great lawn” and the Historical Society. The community at large has spoken in clear opposition to this project anchored at the gateway to New Canaan and the Historic District. Consider the following:

An online petition of New Canaan residents opposed to the development now exceeds 1,500 signatures or 22% of the households in town. The petition signatories represent a vast array of residents from the entire community, not just in the immediate neighborhood, and many of whom are prominent senior citizens.
